safe within thick shrubs
the twittering of sparrows
not caring who hears

safe within thick shrubs
the twittering of sparrows
not caring who hears
a passing moment
the glory of a red sun
poured onto the world
some reflect and some absorb
a few are even transformed
waiting on kettle
the only light in kitchen
full moon through skylight

a flock of robins
spreading cheer and dispelling
the gloom of winter

amidst all the trails
where cyclists and runners roam
deer frolic and play
